Some may call it unreasonable or too hardball when the Tea Party refuses to give in and support candidates that are not doing what they believe is necessary, but many of us call it principled politics.
The carrot and the stick approach has been around long before the Tea Party or Liberty Dispatch sided with only those who were doing what they considered right. In fact that type of politics existed before there was even one political party in this country.
George Washington was President before political parties but he practiced the idea of being positive and supportive of those who were moving in the direction he believed to be best for the country and making it obvious he did not approve anyone who was fighting against what he was for.
The examples are many but the best comes right out of the shoot when Washington first takes office. Washington had promised as President he was going to tour every state in the Union. That tour was on horseback and by carriage and was not an easy thing, but he kept his promise. But he made sure to give precedence to every state that ratified the Constitution first. Washington had to zig and zag around Delaware to do it, but he waited until he had rode to every other state in the Union before he set foot in Delaware as President. Delaware had finally yielded to the Constitution and George Washington had finally come to their state.
Recently the Tea Party and Liberty Dispatch have been accused of favoring and promoting some people while they talk unfavorably towards others. Make no mistake about it that is true. But no matter what you hear about the motivations of that strategy the Tea party and Liberty Dispatch have employed that strategy from day one. We both call it integrity. We both believe it is counterproductive to be promoting people who have proven they are not conservatives. We have both openly explained that was our goal long before anyone even noticed our existence. Long before people that do not agree with us started saying what ever they could to derail our efforts.
Top Notch Republican Runs For Liberty County State Senate Rep.
“Serving the people of Senate District 3 is a tremendous honor,” said Nichols. “I ask for their support so we can continue the work of making government smaller, more efficient and more accountable.”
Nichols, first elected in 2006, has a strong conservative record focused on limited government and representing the district’s interests. He authored and passed legislation to reduce government spending, protect landowners, and encourage free-markets. He is widely respected as one of the state’s experts on transportation policy.
Nichols is recognized as one of Texas’ most effective and hardest-working legislators. His peers elected Nichols Chairman of the Senate Republican Caucus and the Texas Association of Business named him a champion of free enterprise. He was also named a champion for children by the Equity Center for his work to improve the school finance system.
“The priorities of Senate District 3 are my priorities,” said Nichols. He says his legislative agenda is driven by the interests of the citizens he represents. “When people share their problems and concerns with us, we really do work to fix them.”
“I’ve done my best to serve the district, and I think my record speaks to the strong conservative values of the people I represent,” said Nichols. “It’s a privilege to ask for their vote.”
BACKGROUND:
On January 9, 2007, Robert Lee Nichols was sworn in to represent the citizens of Texas State Senate District 3, which is comprised of 16 counties ranging from southern Tyler to just north of Houston and stretching east to the Texas-Louisiana border.
In the Texas Senate, Nichols serves as vice chair of the Intergovernmental Relations Committee and sits on the Transportation and Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and Nominations Committees.
Senator Nichols’ proposal to put a two-year moratorium on private toll roads became a landmark issue of the 2007 legislative session and led to dramatic reforms that protect Texas drivers. He also authored or sponsored legislation to increase the rights of Texas homeowners, reduce Medicaid fraud, prevent child fatalities, and increase penalties for those tampering with evidence in a murder investigation.

McNair Stands True to Conservative Ideas
(09/01/2011- Liberty, Texas) At a recent Commissioner's Court meeting our Liberty County Judge Craig McNair showed why Liberty Dispatch supported him in the last primary and general election.
McNair comes from several generations of well respected Republicans who have selflessly and tirelessly contributed to our party. The McNairs have proven they are willing to incorporate the conservative platform into real world action. The Republican Party has a proven formula for fiscal responsibility and the McNairs aren't afraid to use that formula.
With each commissioner's meeting McNair continues to stand up to those who would seek to continue damaging Liberty County for their own selfish motives.
Liberty Dispatch hopes other Liberty County Republican office holders learn from the McNair formula and stand up to the harmful liberal and RINO interest that still poisons Liberty County.
With the coming election sign-up for the 2012 drawing near, people interested in signing up to run for public office need to take a lesson from McNair's action. If you cant support the system with conservative values and fiscal responsibility- don't waste the voter's time.

FONTENOT FOLLOWING THE SPEND SPEND MODEL OF THE PRESIDENT
When the Liberty County Precinct Commissioners held their final budget workshop on Wednesday we all had a chance to hear why the county is facing an approximate $5 million deficit for next year’s budget and is expected to use money from its cash reserves to have a balanced budget.
Two words are the best example of why we have this problem. “Todd Fontenot.”
Precinct 1 County Commissioner Fontenot objected to having a secretary removed from his maintenance department saying she has been critical to the operation of the maintenance department. The Democratic Commissioner says this position is needed and he will fight to keep it. Fontenot failed to say the position is held by one of the most active Democratic operatives in the county and that she happens to be best known in his commissioner area. He also failed to rebut allegations that the employee in question is not known for doing much and has had a dubious work experience in the past at best.
Fontenot just doesn’t seem to get the budget problems that years of his leadership have caused and the resolve that newly elected Republicans have to cut up the symbolic credit card of years past. Fontenot is also pushing for $81,000 that he had previously requested to construct a new maintenance and storage facility in the Dayton area. Fontenot and his Democratic buddies passed a screwy inefficient re-redistricting plan ten years ago that was more concerned with getting Democrats elected than watching out for taxpayer money. Now he wants this new building because the problems he was warned about years ago have come home to roost.
Fontenot has indicated he will “vote against the budget” in protest of taking his hand picked vote getter off of the payroll and to show disapproval of not getting a second county barn for his precinct.
Liberty County Judge Craig McNair was dissuaded by all of Fontenot’s impractical self centered rantings. The County Judge said the maintenance and operation of the courthouse could be placed under his operation rather than have Fontenot continue this kind of management. McNair was critical of Fontenot’s past performance and his fiscal irresponsibility of the department. McNair pointed to the poor handling of the replacement of the county jail air conditioning unit as an example of Fontenot’s legacy.
“I had to step up to the plate to get the jail situation moving,” said McNair.
Fontenot tried to fire back by criticizing McNair’s proposal to sell the old Wal-Mart building instead of turning it into county offices. But the infamous money pit Fontenot refers to was obtained while he was on commissioner’s court and McNair was still a local businessman and taxpayer. Fontenot seems oblivious to the fact that McNair was swept into office along with other Republicans to begin to clean up the mess he himself made.
“What are we going to do with a $1.8 million building?” Fontenot asked.
“We don’t have money to spend,” said McNair. “We are not going to get another credit card when we have three that we can’t pay. I didn’t get us into this debt, but I am tasked with getting us out of it.”
McNair repeated that he felt that the county maintenance department had not been well handled over the past several years.
Harold Seay, county auditor, noted that last year’s budget used $8 million from the county’s cash reserve fund balance and that this year, the county will probably use $5 million to balance the budget. Seay added remarks that seemed aimed at Commissioners Fontenot and Hunt.
“The old county judge did make the budget but you can’t just blame him,” said Seay. “The previous budgets were voted unanimously by the whole court.”
“I appreciate everyone coming,” said McNair. “I promise that we are listening and taking notes. I want to emphasize the seriousness of the situation with the economic crunch.”
McNair noted that while the meeting was the last budget workshop, his doors were still open for discussion from the county departments and he would also be discussing these issues on the phone with department leaders.
The final budget is expected to be prepared and voted on by the commissioner’s court on Sept. 13. Still no mention has been made of the other active Democratic operative that has for years enjoyed being rewarded for his hard work helping elect Democrats by being the honcho of the local HUD department. With little to nothing to recommend him, Willie Carter continues to hang on to the spoils of past Democratic Party domination of Liberty County.
Stay tuned. It appears as if our new officials are more interested in getting the job done for the people who pay the bills than all of the party politics and payoffs.

Update on Tarkington Prarie Burglary Case
On yesterday, August 30, 2011 in the late afternoon hours, Law Enforcement Officers from the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office and the City of Cleveland Police Department, working together in this case, were able to locate and recover over one dozen of the stolen firearms from the Tarkington Prairie Burglaries.
Also, Persons of Interest Decarious Rucker and Clifton Shedd came to the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office and initially cooperated with Sheriff’s Office Investigators. However, after a very short time, Mr. Rucker declined to cooperate further and left. Mr. Shedd was however, was placed into custody on multiple outstanding warrants for his arrest. Mr. Shedd remains in custody at the Liberty County Jail and is cooperating with Sheriff’s Investigators.
Throughout this investigation, help from an outraged public has proven invaluable. With so much information coming forward, another person of interest has developed. This individual has been identified as Scott, Lamar of Cleveland, Liberty County. Investigators with the LCSO are not indicating Mr. Scott as a suspect at this time, however, he is a person of interest in this case. Attempts to locate and speak to Mr. Scott by Investigators thus far have proven no results.
At this time, the whereabouts of the remaining firearms remains unknown at this time, however, Investigators from several Law Enforcement Agencies are continuing to work around the clock in the quest for locating and recovering these stolen weapons. Many of these weapons are extremely dangerous as they possess a very high velocity and range when fired.
This is the third “set” or group of Burglary Suspects which have been identified and stopped in recent months in Liberty County. The LCSO Crime Suppression Unit working in tandem with Investigators have proven positive results and have had a direct impact in solving these crimes. Substantial amounts of narcotics, stolen property and currency have been recovered and many citizens in Liberty County have provided extremely important information which has assisted in solving these crimes.
The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office is asking anyone with additional information, on this case or any other case, no matter how small the detail, please contact the LCSO at (936) 336-4500 or go to our web site located at (www.libertytxsheriff.com).
Additionally, the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office want to remind everyone, keep your doors and windows locked. Should you have a residential alarm, remember to set the alarm prior to leaving home, even for short amounts of time. Should you see any suspicious person(s), vehicle(s) or activity in your community, please contact the LCSO immediately for assistance.

LOCAL LIBERTY ATTORNEY TO RUN IN CHAMBERS COUNTY- RICHARD BAKER, A DONKEY IN ELEPHANT SKIN
Just when you think you have heard everything in politics, Richard Baker considers throwing his hat in the political ring again. AS A REPUBLICAN!!! That is right, a Republican.
If Richard Baker is seriously considering running for District Judge in Chambers County, he must be banking on the fact that the county does not have a dominant media outlet that will effectively expose him as a sold out Al Gore/Hillary Clinton/Barack Obama Democrat. Baker must hope slipping an elephant carcass over his infamous donkey torso in a short primary season in a county that is heavily affected in elections by people who drive into Houston and don’t know their candidates as well as most rural counties will be enough to win.
There are many examples of Baker’s unrepentant love for Democrats and the philosophy of the Democrat party, but his most recent overt political action speaks volumes. Baker joined Obama in trying to strengthen the Democrat Party cause when he ran a failed campaign as a Democrat trying to defeat the conservative Supreme Court Justice of Texas. But there are plenty of other ties. Baker is one of the lawyers practicing in the building where recently embarrassed former District Judge C.T. Hight stored law books stolen out of the courthouse. Baker’s ties to Hight and to the godfather of the Democrat Party in Liberty County are deep and inseparable.
Conservatives are encouraging Randy McDonald to run for Judge Carroll Wilburn’s seat. He has displayed a far better grasp of the law and does not have the type of liberal baggage Baker has. The contrast between his even tempered nature and the hot tempered vindictive partisanship of Baker is like night and day.
Liberty Dispatch has far more respect for donkeys that are proud to be donkeys than donkeys who try to deceive people into thinking they are elephants. Baker is a big donkey and should be satisfied to run his race as a donkey. But Baker is unlikely to act in any manner that resembles a person who has integrity. He just wants power no matter what it takes to get it. He and his little lawyer nest is used to having a special connection in the courthouse and they will be jumping through hoops to re-incarnate CT Rusty High in Chambers County.
But none of that will work. The more people that meet hot-headed Baker subdued by his need for votes, the more votes it will cost him. The more people who meet McDonald, the more votes McDonald will get. Voters will sense sincerity and the lack of sincerity. The only chance Baker has to win is if he can talk McDonald into leaving Texas him for four months.

The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office is issuing a warning to residents in Tarkington, Texas
In the last month there have been nearly one dozen burglaries of homes in this area. These crimes are being committed in the daylight hours, between 9:00 a.m. at 12:30p.m.
The suspect(s) have forced open a door, entering the residence, stealing firearms. Thus far, nearly 100 firearms have been stolen by these suspect(s). Investigators estimate the time suspect(s) are actually inside a residence is approximately one minute or less. Deputies and Investigators from the Liberty County Sheriff’s Office have joined with the Cleveland Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety and area Constables to create a comprehensive, coordinated effort to identify, locate and apprehend the person(s) responsible for these crimes and recover stolen property.
This investigation has yielded two persons of interest who Sheriff’s Investigators are currently wanting to speak to in reference to this series of crimes and stolen weapons. Those persons are identified as follows;
1. Rucker, Decoris a.k.a. “RED” Cleveland, Liberty County
2. Shedd, Clifton a.k.s “ LIL CLIF” Cleveland, Liberty County
Both of these individuals, though not currently active suspects, are being sought for questioning only at this time. LCSO Investigators have issued the following warning, however, these two individuals should be considered armed and have exhibited violent tendencies / acts in prior cases / incidents in Liberty County.
Sheriff’s Office Captain Evans is also issuing the following warning to residents; if you have any firearms inside your home, please take measures to ensure the weapon is secured in a safe or strong box of some kind. Do not leave rifles or other weapons inside of a display cabinet of any kind which allows easy access by breaking glass or defeating a small locking mechanism. Make sure all of your doors and windows are locked at all times. If you have an alarm system, be sure when you leave your home the system is activated. Additionally, talk to you neighbors, make sure they know to call 9-1-1 anytime suspicious persons of vehicles are seen in your neighborhood. The smallest suspicious detail could be the break Investigators are looking for. Also, try to change your schedule wherever possible so not to set a “pattern” or “routine” which can easily been noted or followed by criminals.

NO THREE STRIKE RULE FOR LIBERTY COUNTY D.A. MIKE LITTLE (D)
The recent internet article written by Vanessa Brashier, the recently demoted editor of several of our local newspapers, is probably meant to harm one of the contributors to this website but it actually should serve as a reminder to us all of how unequal justice is in this county when we it involves District Attorney Mike Little. Her sudden interests in posting cases awaiting trial must be intended to take a pot shot at our colleague and to help her dear friend Mike Little. The only problem is that it has the opposite effect. It underscores the people Little has had tied up in legal proceeding for years and years. The old saying ‘justice delayed is not justice at all’ comes to mind.
The title of this article, “No Three Strike Rule For D.A.”, really under-emphasizes the problems Mike Little is causing others and avoiding himself. Three may be all we cover here today but our readers could contribute to a much more extensive list of questionable behavior or worse.
Back to Brashier’s list and the almost 900 days the taxpayers have paid for Little to look for some way to rid himself of his formidable political enemy. Brashier is yet to report Mike Little’s over two year delay in sharing the results of DPS handwriting experts on the exemplars Ray Akins submitted. Akins was, and still is, a Republican activist with a mission to clean up the courthouse. Little is the last remaining local Democrat to hold a major elective office involving the justice system and he has repeatedly indicated to judge after judge and now District Judge Mark Morefield that he will share the results of the analysis of those samples, but months and now years have gone by and still he is delaying. At first Little blamed the second longest delay in current cases on the DPS lab. But more recently he has claimed physical illness to continue his delay, a physical illness that is a lie and made to get the sympathy of people in the courthouse and boot the Akins case. In reality Mike Little has lied to Judge Mark Morefield and made a mockery of the 75th Judicial District Court.
STRIKE ONE: Mr. D.A., you can add a thousand more excuses but the fact is the handwriting samples will hurt your case. They do not implicate Ray Akins. You know it and, by now, even your ace in the hole in the media (Vanessa Brashier) has to suspect it. She won’t report it or any of your other behaviors, but your endless search, your very expensive search, your time consuming vindictive political witch hunt – it will have to come to an end.
Mr. Little, it is difficult to determine whether or not you are sick but it appears it is a complete lie. But it should not be difficult to understand that you have plenty of people “you” make sick. The normal compassion we all have for the sick is somewhat jaded by the fact that you are deceptive and that you are an expert at playing the system to your on personal advantage. Again, you’ve been aided by your political and personal connections with Vanessa Brashier, et al and the lawsuit filed by a Liberty County prisoner named Blue has been kept quiet.
STRIKE TWO: Whether or not you are guilty of sodomizing this man in your office should be a matter of public interests by the media. You have enjoyed keeping people under the gun and in the media light for years, but when it comes to your own Almightiness you arrange a media blackout and attempt to manipulate the system?
And then there is your employee, the gun toting defender of dogs and self described right winger that is more conservative than us all. Sounds good, except your boy Joe Warren owned the dog that initiated the entire incident now infamous because your bizarre lack of judgment has him still working as a prosecutor while he is under indictment. Again, your “little” local reporters will not be able to hide the photo Justice of the Peace Bobby Rader says clearly shows Joe Warren’s dog did the attacking.
STRIKE THREE: We could go on and on but we for now keeping a hothead who threatens his neighbors with a gun on staff will serve as our third strike. The final strikes would come if and when the media or federal investigators look at charges of your years of selective prosecution. The cases where recently defeated and embarrassed District Judge Rusty Hight gave light sentences after people were found guilty of sex crimes against minors – and then mysteriously any record of their crimes were erased in court the next day – STRIKE FOUR, STRIKE FIVE, STRIKE SIX…
